    2017 SR5 V6 2WD 105,000 mi. Power Steering fluid has never been changed and it black. Was planning on sucking out fluid with syringe and filling 5-6 times until fluid looks clean. Will this fluid work?

    I have one question. Why wouldn’t you just use power steering fluid?

    Been googling and that's where I ended up. Maybe this truck needs that specific kind I linked to?

    Okay I would not have guessed that. I see an ad for it but
    The manual has dextron 2 or 3 So your truck. Good luck,
    Glad you caught this and taking action.

    I had all my fluids changed, power steering, brake fluid, engine, transfer and rear differential and transmission

    Any ATF works with Toyota, Anything dex 3 or better.

    Toyota doesnt use standard PS fluid.
